The Chinese Crested, also known as Puff, is one of the most easily recognisable dogs in the world with its hairless body and delightful tufts of hair on the face, ears, neck and lower legs. However, these hairless dogs are not the only kind Chinese Crested, as there is also a Powder Puff, which boasts of having an undercoat covered with an ultra-soft veil of elongated hair.

Chinese Crested dogs are relatively expensive due to their rarity, unique appearance, and demand, especially the hairless variety which tends to cost more. Prices from reputable breeders typically range from £800 to £2,000, with some show-quality or top-lineage puppies reaching higher prices. Adoption or rescue options are considerably less costly, generally between £120 and £480, depending on veterinary care. These price ranges reflect factors including bloodline quality, breeder reputation, and coat type.
